| | Re: New Build - Not sure of look.... I'd just change out the seat. Not black, get tan....
If you can paint the tank & the guard to match that makes ALL the difference I think. It all comes down to the little details to make the sale. Make it look like it was supposed to be a motored bike, and not a kit added on. If that makes any kind of sense...

| | Re: New Build - Not sure of look.... what about getting a shorter stem or owering stem to get handlebars a lit bit more down to the ground to get the board track look your going after. or flip handle bars over and a nice set of street tires. either way!

| | Re: New Build - Not sure of look.... Motoschwinn has good advice. Paint the tank and chainguard to match the bike and it will move up quite a few notches. IMHO... The seat would look great in dark brown too. However, I like the handlebars just like they are.
